    The private automobile (私家车）has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.

    For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.

    Family life has been affected（影响）in various ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims（受害者）of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies (悲剧）. They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.

    For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.

    1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?

    A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.

    B. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.

    C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work.

    D. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.

    2.What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?

    A. Parents have paid more attention to their children.

    B. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.

    C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.

    D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem.

    3.We can infer from the text that in America.

    A. it will be more difficult for people to get new cars

    B. parents will not allow their children to have their own cars

    C. the government will encourage people to use public transportation

    D. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems

    Popular culture often shows alcohol as a big part of the college experience in the United States. Television programs and movies about American college life have images of wild parties with young people either drinking alcohol or holding a drink.

    Now, a new study of alcohol use suggests that some college students may be missing meals so they can have more drinks or get drunk faster. Researchers are calling this kind of behavior "drunkorexia".

    The study involved 1,184 college students between the ages of 18 and 26. Researchers found that 80 percent of those studied had demonstrated some kind of drunkorexia in the past three months. They had performed heavy physical exercise, eaten low calorie meals or even missed meals for up to a full day before drinking alcohol.

    Dipali Rinker organized the study and presented its findings to the Research Society on Alcoholism in June. She says students see drunkorexia as a way to keep their body weight down while drinking alcohol. And it causes them to feel the effects of alcohol quickly and with more intensity（强度）. Rinker says unhealthy eating habits are only one of the reasons why this type of behavior is dangerous. Heavy drinking is linked to drunk driving, unprotected sex, and alcohol poisoning.

    George Koob, who directs a U.S. governmental agency that studies alcohol related problems, says that the percent of students using alcohol has not increased in recent years. But what worries him is that the number of students drinking to the point of "blacking out" has increased. Blacking out is when a person drinks so much alcohol they have no memory of their actions while drunk.

    Koob notes that college students in Canada and Europe also face issues with alcohol. But he feels a big part of the problem is that Americans do not fully understand alcohol's effects. Most people do not know the part of the brain where decisions are made is not fully developed until age 25 and that alcohol harms the development of that part of the brain, he adds.

    1.What is the purpose of the behavior "drunkorexia"?

    A. To get drunk. B. To drink more alcohol.

    C. To take exercise. D. To lose weight.

    2.What can heavy drinking result in?

    A. Unhealthy eating habits. B. Drunkorexia.

    C. Alcohol poisoning. D. Quick response.

    3.Which of the following is the result of blacking out?

    A. Missing meals. B. Forgetting something one did.

    C. Having unprotected sex. D. Operating a vehicle while drunk.

    4.By writing the passage, the writer aims to ________.

    A. show heavy drinking and its harm B. show America college life

    C. introduce American culture D. explain harmful behaviors

    In China, chain restaurants – especially the big multinational ones – are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization.”

    Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing, “I’m huuuuuungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.

    In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a little more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.

    Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.

    I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.

    1.Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.

    A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture

    B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants

    C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status

    D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date

    2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.

    B. Branches of Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.

    C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK.

    D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.

    3.We can infer from the article that ______.

    A. the author doesn’t like food from Pizza Hut

    B. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trends

    C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality

    D. many Britons don’t like big corporations

    4.What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?

    A. adapted B. contributed

    C. subscribed D. Switched
